One missed notice can cost thousands.

Deposit limits. Rent caps. Notice periods. Required disclosures. They change by state, by county, sometimes by city. LeaseBase tracks the rules for your jurisdiction — so you don’t have to memorize landlord law.

Compliance monitoring and guidance — not legal advice. Free for up to 3 units.

The rules are stacked against you.

California alone has 22 required disclosures. Miss one and you could face penalties, lawsuits, or voided leases.

“AB 2801 changed the deposit rules — did you update yours?”

As of July 2025, California security deposit limits dropped to one month’s rent for all landlords. If you’re still collecting first, last, and deposit — you’re violating state law. The penalty: the tenant can recover up to 2× the excess deposit.

“Your rent increase might be illegal”

AB 1482 caps rent increases at 5% + CPI (max 10%) for most California properties. Sacramento has its own tenant protection ordinance with different rules. The wrong increase amount on the wrong property could mean a forced rollback and legal fees.

“The notice you didn’t send”

30-day notice for less than a year. 60-day for more than a year. Different rules for just-cause cities. Wrong notice period = start over. Meanwhile your tenant stays, and the clock resets.

“The disclosure you forgot”

Lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 buildings (federal). Mold disclosure (CA). Bed bug history (CA). Prop 65 (CA). Flood zone (federal). 22 required disclosures in California alone. Which ones apply to your property? Are they all on file?

Compliance that watches while you sleep.

Every night, LeaseBase scans every lease against your jurisdiction’s current rules. You wake up to a clean report — not a surprise violation.

“I almost made an illegal rent increase on one of my Sacramento properties. I calculated 8% because that’s what I thought the market supported. LeaseBase flagged it — the AB 1482 cap for that property was 7.2%. One automated check saved me from a forced rollback, a tenant complaint, and potential legal fees. That’s when I understood: compliance isn’t optional, and it can’t depend on your memory.”

Questions

No. LeaseBase provides automated compliance monitoring and jurisdiction-specific guidance. Every finding cites the specific statute so you can verify it yourself or share it with your attorney. For complex legal matters, we recommend consulting a qualified real estate attorney.
California, Texas, New York, and Florida — including local city ordinances for Sacramento, LA, San Diego, Santa Ana, San Jose, and NYC. More states and cities added regularly.
When you add a property, LeaseBase assigns its jurisdiction based on the address. The system loads federal, state, county, and city rules applicable to that specific location. Different properties in different cities get different rule sets.
LeaseBase updates its rule database when laws change. When AB 2801 took effect in July 2025, every California property’s deposit limit was automatically rechecked. You don’t need to track legislative changes yourself.
Yes. You can start with compliance and add rent collection, maintenance, and financial tracking when you’re ready. But most landlords find that connecting leases + compliance + rent gives the most complete picture.

You shouldn’t need a law degree to manage rentals.
